Victoria bronze Proof Pattern Crown 1887 PR65 Brown NGC, by J. Rochelle Thomas for Spink & Son, ESC-2687, L&S-85. A stunning example of this rare bronze issue defined by the combination of a plain truncation, inclusion of Spink & Son beneath the date, and MADE IN BAVARIA impressed into the edge. The surfaces are clearly Gem-quality, with even chocolate-brown tone and absolutely minimal signs of handling or cabinet friction. Of comparable rarity to the other copper and bronze die pairings, of which only five pieces each were struck, we must assume that only a handful of this variety is available to collectors of these enigmatic patterns.
